DC People! I need parking help!

[raisintorte]

Tomorrow morning I am meeting thekatebeyond in DC. I'm picking her up at National, and then we are going sightseeing.

I *hate* driving in cities. The plan right now is to park the car in one place in the morning, and then not touch it until that evening.

Here's the help I need - where can I park my car? I don't want to drive around looking for a spot, and I know spots in town are very limited.

We're totally good with taking the metro, and plan on spending most of the day on the Mall and in the Air and Space Museum.

So any suggestions for lots in those areas? Or lots near a metro that won't be full by mid-morning on a weekday?

Thanks!! I had considered Pentagon City, but I was trying to avoid going far into Virgina, since our end destination is at the top of the loop in Maryland.

Right now I'm leaning towards just parking at the airport. It's only $10, and the metro is close. I'm just kicking myself for not even thinking of it. :-)

I still owe you finishing TBTILAF brownies. :-)

And if you park at the Airport, when you leave, you just get on the GW Parkway North and take that up to the NW area of the Beltway... not through DC at all! It's an easy zip... mostly wooded, but y'all should be used to backroads!

Yay brownies!
